WHAT’S
IT MEAN TO BE
A PILGRIM?
The pilgrimage to Makkah,
in Saudi Arabia, is the fifth
pillar of the Islamic faith
which unites millions from
across the globe.

“During the past eleven days here in the
Muslim world, I have eaten from the same
plate, drunk from the same glass and slept in
the same bed (or on the same rug)-while
praying to the same God with fellow Muslims,
whose eyes were the bluest of the blue,
whose hair was the blondest of blond, and
whose skin was the whitest of white. And in
the words and in the actions and in the
deeds of the ‘white' Muslims, I felt the same
sincerity that I felt among the black African
Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana.
We are truly all the same – brothers.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the
worlds.“ [Malik al Shabazz, Malcolm X, 1964]

TAKE TIME
OUT
The world is a busy, hectic
place.
Everything is fast, instant
and constantly changing.

EQUALITY OF HUMANITY
… an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an
Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a
white - except by piety and good action. [PROPHET MUHAMMAD, peace be upon him]
